Major Differences from the MangaEdit

• A lot of Bakugan in the anime replace the roles of some Bakugan in the manga (ie: Mika Laurel replaces Mega Nemus a lot of the time).
• The first half of the anime involves the Shadow Sanjushi instead of the BakuThiefs whereas in the manga, it is the other way around.
• Tatsuma appears in the first episode of the anime and has appeared in every episode since. However, in the manga, he does not appear for a while.
• The BakuTech Colisseo chapters were skipped so Harou Kido was the three-time champion in the anime instead of just two.
• The Rare Bakugan Hunters are yet to make an appearance but their Guardian Bakugan are often used for target practice in the Bakugan Dojo and in Quilt's Temple.
• In the manga, Van Falco evolved because Sho used a machine to repair Van Falco after Catol destroys it. In the anime, it naturally evolves after Sho defeats Koh in a brawl.
• In the manga, Master Jyou never switches places with Master Shimo.
• In the manga, the Shadow Sanjushi get their Sechs Tavanel at the same time as Team Dragon.
• In the manga, Tatsuma takes a trial to become a BakuTech, and gets metal cross parts. In the anime, it is unknown how he got his metal cross parts, but it is hinted that Harou Kido gave them to him.
• In the manga the fight with the Grif brothers newly evolved bakugan is shorter
• In the manga, the fight with Master Grizz and Master Odore is shorter.
• In the manga Mr Up is met at Odore and Grizzs' temple
• in the manga the Tavanel Cup starts with Mr Up and Downs' arc in the anime
• Zakuro's possession takes place at the Tavanel cup in the manga.
• Raichi's dark past is not talked about in the anime.
